Euclid Analytics | Backend & Software Engineers | San Francisco (SF), CA, ONSITE Only | euclidanalytics.com

Who we are: We're a Series C funded startup just over 30 people total and our tight-knit team is focused on using Wi-Fi data to help retailers make better decisions. We create analytics products based on substantial amounts of data–40gb/day & growing. Roles: Euclid Analytics is looking to add Backend and Software Engineers to our backend team! We're looking for candidates who have at least one year of industry experience and who are passionate about solving hard problems.

Tech Stack includes: Scala, Python, Spark, Kafka, MySQL, Redshift, AWS, and Mesos. Projects include: classification models to guess whether someone is visiting a store or walking by, streams for real-time alerts, simulating store traffic, helping clients improve their staffing, and calculating cross visitors across different stores. Much of our work involves figuring out how to make these calculations work in an efficient, distributed way across large datasets.

Interview process: Intro call with our tech recruiter, a phone interview with a hiring manager and a take-home technical assessment. This is followed up by a day of onsite interviews that will most likely include probability/stats questions, a deep dive on your take-home exercise answers, a data manipulation question, and lunch. For programming questions you're welcome to use your own laptop or one that we provide–we won't ask you to write code on a whiteboard!

Virtru | Washington, DC or REMOTE (within America) | Fulltime | JavaScript fullstack, nodejs, devops == Who we are == https://virtru.com/how-it-works Everyone has a right to keep their digital content private and secure. Virtru was founded with the belief that exercising that right should be easy and convenient. Virtru allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email using your existing email address and existing email…

== Real Talk ==

I'm posting this on behalf of my company and wanted to personalize why you might want to check us out as I think copy/paste non-personalized job ads on HN are boring and don't deserve a place here.

I started back with Virtru as a Senior Software Engineer in July of 2015 and work remotely. I have never once felt left out because I am remote. This is my first remote job and I cannot see how anyone would ever want to work any other way now. We currently use Slack, Google Hangouts, and Screenhero, so you won't be cut off to fend for yourself in the wild. Most of the developers are on the east coast, but we have a few people on the west coast & central.

One of the more interesting things about Virtru is that a lot of work is around browser extensions, which is fairly atypical for software products, so you'll get to learn something new. So what's working there like for a remote person? We have a stand up for the feature team at 10AM EST, and one for our DevOps. After that your day is usually in your court outside of the regular sprint end/begin activities (retro, review, planning). If you like going heads down with no/minimal distractions you can often achieve that. You won't be micromanaged to get your work done and getting your work done is the most important measure. You'll get the freedom to experience what it is to worry about only your work and not if you're showing your face for enough hours. If that means you bust ass 3 days a week and keep yourself available for the other two for stand up, possible reviews and questions, and maybe a meeting no one should care.

Rather than write a novel, if you have any questions please contact me via running this JS snippet to get my info:

    [103, 114, 101, 103, 43, 104, 110, 64, 118, 105, 114, 116, 114, 117, 46, 99, 111, 109].map(x => String.fromCharCode(x)).join('')

ViaSat, Inc. | USA (anywhere) | Full Time | https://www.viasat.com

ViaSat's Cloud Engineering squad provides network and security services to every program at the company, from development through production, with a focus on utilizing public and private cloud platforms. We engage hands-on with other engineering teams to help them get to the cloud. We also build the network services platform these groups use to meet their operational, security, and regulatory requirements.

On any given day, you may be walking colleagues through the finer points of VPC design, helping a product team debug a critical failure in production, or presenting a workshop on developing against our internal APIs. You might be adding DNSSEC to our DNS service, writing automation to validate TLS configurations across the entire network, or expanding our platform into São Paulo. Our work and our products are always evolving, which leaves little chance you'll ever get bored.

We are looking for engineers who are proficient with multiple languages, and are familiar with existing IaaS and PaaS products like AWS, OpenStack, or Marathon. We also need our team members to be good communicators and people-friendly, as our daily work involves interfacing with many people all around the company. An engineering degree or equivalent experience is necessary.

You'd get bonus points for having a strong security background, knowing advanced networking concepts like BGP and VLANs, and having previous work experience building globally-distributed applications.

Interview process: an HR phone screen, a technical phone/Skype interview, and a half-day on-site interview.

Our team is location-agnostic; you can work from any ViaSat office (https://www.viasat.com/contact/locations), or from home, as long as you reside within the United States.
